Chapter 676 Returning to Yànbei, the New Year is approaching
On both sides of the wide road, willows that have lost their leaves swayed in the wind, and the winter was extremely cold.
Wang Yu took out the wine bag from his waist, took a sip and threw it to Dian Wei behind him. Dian Wei was not polite, drank it down and drank it.
The wall of Zhendong City could be seen in the distance. Wang Yu, who could no longer restrain himself, said loudly: "Dian Wei, after you drink my wine, take the lead in singing a military song."
Obviously, after returning from the expedition, Wang Yu's mood was extremely agitated.
"Yes, hehe."
Dian Wei squinted and blushed. This rough man has always been a representative of tone-deaf, but he is said to be soft-spoken and short-handed. After taking a sip of wine, he had to get out of the queue, looked back and sang in a high-pitched voice: "
The north wind is defeated by thousands of cities!"
“The north wind blows away thousands of cities and clears thousands of miles of sea;
There are no military uniforms in northern Xinjiang, and we have achieved success today.
Looking back at the Tatar captives in Yanbei, and the smell of mutton outside the Tianlang Pass.
Wearing iron armor and carrying a long sword, we march for you!
………”
Naturally, Dian Wei, a rough guy, didn't know how to sing any songs. He only knew a few songs in total. What he sang at this time was Junyao, which is unique to Northern Xinjiang.
The desolate and powerful singing attracted more people to watch, and the people of Yanbei almost blocked the road.
Not far away from the Zhendong Prince's Mansion in the center of the city, Wang Chang was sitting in the main hall, looking at the slumped family members, and scolded him with a straight face: "Look at what you look like. It is his blessing to fight for the sake of national justice."
, is also a blessing to our Wang family. With your behavior, there is no reason for the servants to laugh at you, and there is no trace of the Wang family's calmness."
Wang Yu's two younger brothers, Wang Xin and Wang Wu, looked slightly stunned, while Wang Yu's wife, Bai, blushed with embarrassment and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Although Wang Yu had always been wary of Wang Xin and Wang Wu, and had always had disputes over the position of General Zhendong, this did not mean that the relationship between the three brothers was poor.
After all, when Wang Yu left home for the imperial capital, the two younger brothers were still much younger and did not understand yet. The dispute between them did not actually come from the two younger brothers themselves, but from
Pushers behind them.
In other words, before this, all the disputes between the three brothers did not come from themselves, but from the people standing behind them.
The second brother, Wang Xin, has grown a little older during the few years since Wang Yu left home and may have learned a little about other things. But the third brother, Wang Wu, was innocent when most of the children of the general family
Wang Yu was adept at martial arts, and his third brother Wang Wu had always admired Wang Yu, his brother with outstanding military exploits.
"Okay, don't listen to what your father is bragging about here. What about the Wang family's calm spirit? I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. I don't know who got up in the middle of the night to write and solve problems. It's normal for people to be nervous. I can't watch it.
Fuck him for his pretentious behavior." Lao Wuwangshi exposed it mercilessly.
Although Laowu Wangshi is nominally Wang Yu's uncle and Wang Chang's younger brother, he is actually not much older than Wang Yu, that is, seven or eight years old, and is not even 30 years old now.
Compared to his other brothers, the age gap is really quite big.
Therefore, when his brothers were fighting the most fiercely, he was still a little boy, which is equivalent to the age gap between Wang Yu and Wang Wu today.
It is precisely because of this that among the brothers of the previous generation of Lao Wang's family, apart from the two whose whereabouts are unknown, only Lao Wu and Wang Chang have such a brotherly relationship that they can joke about it.
For example, Wang Yuan, the third child, did not dare to joke in front of Wang Chang, or even face his brother. Otherwise, he would not have simply hid in the imperial capital back then.
It is said that he is the person in charge of the Wang family in the imperial capital, but it is clear that this is the third child who is hiding from the boss.
"Rebellion? Rebellious!" Just as Wang Chang was about to show off his power, he heard his disciple come to report: "The eldest young master is back!"
If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political goals.
Since he retired, Wang Chang's personality seems to have changed a lot.
………………
Zhendong Mansion was particularly lively today. Officials from Yanbei, Hebei, and Yannan all came here who were qualified to be in the government. They were all old and young, both in their academic and military skills. Fortunately, Zhendong Mansion was big enough, otherwise it would have been impossible to accommodate so many people.
Zhendong Mansion is divided into two parts: inner and outer mansions. The inner mansion is naturally where the Zhendong Wang family lives, while the outer mansion is the center of power in the entire Yanbei Road.
It was also a coincidence that when Wang Yu's class teacher returned, it happened to be the time to celebrate the New Year.
The Chinese New Year is meant to be festive and lively, and Wang Yu is in a very good mood. Many of his old subordinates in front of him have not been seen for a long time. They are friends who live and die together, so seeing each other again is of course particularly joyful.
Officials from various places appeared one after another to talk about local people's livelihood issues and their expectations for the imperial court. To put it bluntly, they were showing off their achievements and then asking the imperial court for money. As for the so-called imperial court, in fact, to put it bluntly, they were still asking Wang Yu for money.
Since Huangfu Mingze disappeared, this imperial court, which had no strong existing significance, has ceased to exist in name only. After all, what kind of imperial court is it if there is no emperor anymore?
The euphemistic name is that the Empress Dowager Dongfang will be the regent, and an outstanding person from the royal family's bloodline will be chosen to succeed him. However, no one can decide when exactly this will be chosen!
Zhao Anling, Kuai Liang, Gao Jiong and other important civil servants decided in court whether to give or not.
After answering the questions correctly, it was already noon, and Wang Yu decided to treat him to a guest in the Zhendong Mansion.
There are a total of three hundred civil and military officials in the main hall. A throne, yellow cover, and card fan are set up at the top. Several of the most important civil and military officials are sitting on both sides of the main hall.
The throne at the top was naturally reserved for the emperor who no longer existed. In name, Wang Yuzun still belonged to the Great Cang Court, and this superficial formality had to be in place.
He, Wang Yu, is a loyal minister of Da Cang!
It was the time when the New Year was about to come and it was the time when they were returning from a great victory. Many civil and military officials looked festive, but there was a little noise underneath.
Wang Yu didn't take it seriously. He held up his wine glass and chatted with one and another, very happy.
Groups of maids from Dongyi who paid tribute served the dishes like butterflies in flowers. As the New Year was approaching, many maids in the palace went home to visit relatives. The manpower seemed a bit tight, leaving only these foreign women to serve.
The small court of Dongyi regarded itself as the son emperor, and at the same time worshiped Wang Yu as its subfather. It was natural that they would pay tribute during the New Year and the festival.
In the past few years, the General's Mansion was rarely so lively, and some of the maids were visiting relatives, which showed that there was not enough manpower.
Precisely because these maids were nominally paying tribute to the emperor, there was also a reason for placing a throne on top.
